Hope she gets in touch soon,

bobs · 30/08/2009 13:05

I'm sorry for yr worries. Poss she is not answering phone as was up all night and is sleeping in?? My DD is nearlt 16 and I ask that she always tells me where she is going and if she changes her plans to let me know. With teenagers I've learnt you have to be 1 step ahead of the game - the number of times I've been caught out!!
Let us know when she turns up - sure she will soon...

shhhh · 30/08/2009 18:31

have you tried to contact any more of her friends..?
Are the police doing anything to help.? given a timescale before they will help or nothing at all..? Can't imagine the worry..

Nancy66 · 30/08/2009 18:47

I hope she's home soon and safe and sound.
Seventeen is the age you can legally leave home without parental permission, which is why the police are not acting.

God, teenage girls are a nightmare aren't they? i remember how horrible I was.

ilovesprouts · 30/08/2009 20:11

thats awful. i can't imagine how you must feel...

can you text her instead of phoning? maybe she'll respond to that better....its a bit less confronational if she knows she's in for a bollocking.

hope you hear from her soon.

ilovesprouts · 30/08/2009 20:24

i have left lots of texts and voice mails etc oh yes shes in for one hell of a bollocking !!

OP posts:

chimchar · 30/08/2009 20:26

nigglewiggle · 30/08/2009 20:42

Is there anything that would make her more vulnerable than the average 17 year old, like an illness for example? What is this girl she is with known for? These two things could make the police more likely to take action.

shhhh · 30/08/2009 20:47

is there anyone who can try and call her...? I asume she is ignoring you and knows the calls when it comes through..maybe someone else calling on a different number may catch her unawares..?

Worth a try...

Teenagers are such a worry..im 10 (ish) years off till I experience the sulk and im so not looking forward to it..

TBH,My sister was a nightmare for my mum and moved out to go to uni at 18 YET me on the otherhand..never a problem, left home to move in with (now) dh at 20 and my mother would defo have me back now..in a flash .

Keep positive and keep in touch with us x

ilovesprouts · 30/08/2009 20:49

no shes not got any illness /or medication etc ,she street wise ,but the girl shes whith can twist her round her finger ,shes well known to the police in halifax [not dd] the girl hangs around we druggies smokes stuff etc gets drunk ,and when she gets nasty she threatends ppl whith knifes and my dd says its not her fault its her upbringing etc as she was in care from young age

OP posts:

ilovesprouts · 30/08/2009 20:52

all my best mates who knows her have called her all day but they get the same as me !! i dont know what the salford area is like ,been told its not nice ,but hey i dont know

OP posts:

shhhh · 30/08/2009 21:00

Im about 30/45 mins from salford..its not the best iykwim...(don't want to offend anyone)

Hopefully she is safe, asleep and will wake up full of remorse..

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 30/08/2009 21:29

You need to tell your dd that someone'e upbringing is not an excuse for violent/threatening behaviour and that she has to accept it is wrong.

How long has it been since anyone heard from her?

ilovesprouts · 30/08/2009 21:37

ive not spoke to her since fri pm !

OP posts:

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 30/08/2009 21:40

ilovesprouts · 30/08/2009 21:56
